Stayed here for 4 nights on our honeymoon last month at the end of our travels around Asia. We booked purely based on the reviews on Tripadvisor and against the advice of our travel agent. This truly is the most romantic and special place andI wont repeat all the thingsother reviwers have said. My thoughts are
* DON'T book if you want to be in the centre of town and close to all the action
* DON'T book if you hate bugs and weird noises in the night
* DO book if you want a truly romantic getaway after the hustleof Bangkok
* DO book if you want to stay somewhere unique and magical that you will remember forever

We are a couple from Italy. We stayed 3 nights in this fabolous small resort last May. We have booked at this place on the basis on the amazing reviews we found on this website, and everything we had read was true! If you want to stay far from the crowd, but still conveniently near to the city, this is the best place. The lush green and the unique hospitality of the owners (Om and his wife) won't disappoint you. Also try to the have dinner here at least once, very very good food, and it was nice to dine only the two of us with all this nature around.Go for it!

We stayed at the beautiful fern paradise for 4 nights during which we celebrated our 2 year wedding anniversary. We couldnt have wished for a more amazing place to celebrate our special day. The family made us feel so special and even left a lovely bouquet of flowers in our room with their best wishes for our anniversary.

The family were all so attentive and helped us in ensuring we had a brilliant trip in chaing mai. The fern paradise tour with Dr Niwat was one of our highlights. All the family made us feel so welcome and took the time to talk to us about the thai culture, we learnt far more than we could from any guide book!

Althought fern paradise is situated outside of the main city this is not a problem at all as the taxis are cheap and very reliable. The location is ideal as you are close enough to reach the hustle of the main city without having it on your door step.

We feel so priviledged to have been able to stay with you all at fern paradise and hope to be able to return in the future.

Many thanks

Becky and Joe Smith

This was my first trip to Chiang Mai, and I was traveling alone. I arrived unexpectedly on a rainy evening, one day early. Om and his family did not miss a beat and went out of their way to make me feel welcome and comfortable, bringing fresh fruit to my room when I said I was too tired for dinner. I quickly realized that this "nice touch" is standard procedure for this wonderfully hospitable family, and that their gestures of generosity and kindness stem from much more than a desire to run a business efficiently. These folks really do care about their guests and their needs.
Niwat's love for ferns and his willingness to share that with me, a visitor, opened a whole new appreciation for me that I never even considered prior to my visit. What a lovely gift. I can honestly say that in all my many years of travel, I have never stayed anywhere that comes close to Fern Paradise in providing genuine hospitality.
